The answer seems simple to us. If a player has joined Full Tilt through an affiliate website, (One that is paid by Full Tilt to recruit players without rakeback) then Full Tilt are obliged to pay this website a percentage of the money that they make from the recruited player. This percentage is generally about 30% and is paid for the life time of the player. Now if they then allowed the player rakeback of 27% too they would soon be in a position where they were making no profit from the player. The affiliate would not be happy if Full Tilt suddenly told them that they were no longer going to pay them their commission because the player was now getting rakeback even though they used their Full Tilt referral code. Therefore they will not allow rakeback for a player that is originally referred by an affiliate. Hence the reason some players are successful and some not when applying for rakeback through rakebackpros.
Now many players may have found a way around this, which is as follows:
Full Tilts terms and conditions are as follows:
Players are not allowed to create, use, or deposit to more than one account. Players who are found to have multiple accounts or to have allowed multiple users to access their account may face account suspensions or revocations, and forfeiture of their accumulated Full Tilt Points and real money balances.
So, if you close your Full Tilt account you are no longer a player and therefore must be allowed to open a new account surely?
Lots of existing players have found the easiest way to get rakeback with Full Tilt is to delete their software then sign up for Full Tilt with a new account using a new email address and deposit method, this may or may not work! Trying this method may end up with Full Tilt closing your account.
We DO NOT condone players using the methods above and must point out that by doing so, you are stealing earnings from poker affiliates that were good enough to get you a good deal that you were once happy with in the first place.
If, however, you have an account at Full Tilt that was opened direct and not through an affiliate, or you have never deposited in to Full Tilt or played a single cash hand then please contact us and we will endeavour to secure you a rakeback deal with Full Tilt.
Why not consider moving to another poker room instead? Such as Absolute poker or Ultimate Bet
